Crexendo, Inc. (CXDO)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q2 2025 delivered double‑digit top-line growth with software solutions as the primary engine; revenue was $16.55M, up 13% YoY, GAAP EPS was $0.04, and non‑GAAP diluted EPS was $0.09 .
  • Results beat Wall Street: revenue of $16.55M vs $16.27M consensus (+$0.29M, +1.8%) and non‑GAAP EPS $0.09 vs $0.061 consensus (+46.5%); GAAP EPS was flat at $0.04 .*
  • Operating margin rose to 7% (vs 4% YoY) as mix shifted toward higher‑margin software; consolidated gross margin was 63% (down 200bps QoQ from 65% in Q1) .
  • Management reiterated double‑digit organic growth and flagged margin expansion from OCI migrations skewed to 2026 (US data center closures), with RPO rising to $83.5M as a forward demand indicator .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Software Solutions revenue grew 31% YoY to $7.0M; segment gross margin improved to 74%, highlighting strong operating leverage .
  • Backlog/RPO increased to $83.5M (from $81.9M in Q1 and $71.2M YoY), supporting multi‑year revenue visibility; weighted toward the first three years .
  • Management emphasized disciplined growth and OCI migration progress: “We are aggressively migrating to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)…a move we expect to yield significant cost savings and improved focus on innovation” .

What Went Wrong

  • Consolidated gross margin contracted to 63% from 65% in Q1, with telecom services gross margin at 56%, pressured by product margin mix and reinvestment; major savings expected only after US data center closures in 2026 .
  • Product revenue fell 7% YoY to $1.20M as the company deliberately avoided lower‑margin opportunities; retail telecom growth (~2% organically) remains below desired double‑digits .
  • Competitive pricing remains “irrational” in UCaaS; management is not pursuing unprofitable deals, which could cap near‑term retail growth vs peers chasing promotions .

Management Commentary

  • “We achieved a 13% year‑over‑year increase in total revenue to $16.6 million, driven by particularly impressive 31% growth in our software solutions segment…This marks our eighth consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability and 27th consecutive quarter of Non‑GAAP net income.” — Jeff Korn, CEO .
  • “We are in the final stages of sunsetting our classic platform…aggressively migrating to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)…We remain focused on accelerating telecom services revenue through disciplined, profitable sales initiatives and a targeted review of strategic, accretive acquisitions.” — Jeff Korn .
  • “Operating margin for the quarter increased to 7%…Adjusted EBITDA…$2.8 million…Cash and cash equivalents at 06/30/2025 was $23.5 million.” — Ron Vincent, CFO .
  • “Master agent technology service distributors saw an 88% increase in sales bookings year over year…we successfully completed our international data center migration to OCI.” — Doug Gaylor, President & COO .

Q&A Highlights

  • Licensee dynamics: Added two new licensees; active count near ~240; larger average new‑logo revenue; continued migrations from BroadSoft and Metaswitch .

  • Channel strength: Focused strategy with select TSDs driving 88% YoY bookings growth; emphasis on execution and customer service (G2 rankings) .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Beat vs consensus on revenue and non‑GAAP EPS, driven by 31% software growth and disciplined cost control; GAAP EPS flat due to reinvestment and mix .*
  • Software remains the core growth engine with rising margins (74%), while telecom services are steady but constrained by competitive pricing; expect retail growth to improve via channel momentum (88% bookings increase) .
  • Margin expansion is a medium‑term story: OCI migration benefits are back‑weighted to 2026 upon US data center closures; near‑term reinvestment tempers consolidated margins .
  • Strengthening visibility: RPO at $83.5M, heavily front‑loaded over the next three years, underpins revenue trajectory and supports Street’s double‑digit growth frame .
  • M&A optionality with disciplined hurdles (accretive within ~3 quarters) and strong cash ($23.45M) provide capacity to augment growth and platform capabilities .
  • Short‑term: Positive trading setup on the beat and Russell 2000 inclusion; monitor margins and retail growth mix next quarter .
  • Medium‑term: Thesis hinges on continued licensee wins from legacy platforms, AI monetization/upsell, and OCI‑driven cost takeout to expand profitability .
